Mess…and such

Kids make messes. This is the mess below J’s chair after dinner. It makes me grit my teeth. Today was especially bad because he was taking bites of things, chews for a while, then spits everything out and starts with a new bite. I wouldn’t normally let this go, but I think the little man is still recovering from the flu. Anyways. Between the mess on the floor, and the mess on the table I felt my blood pressure rising. As I was cleaning up I looked back at the table and saw the sweetest thing, R and J playing a game.

J would hold his cup over the floor (he knows this gets our attention), and R would grab it and sort of sing “Nooooooo..” and she’d put it back on the table. J thought this was just the funniest thing. It just melted my heart. Makes the mess so totally worth it…
